How long have you been doing this? I was 7 or 8 when I started doing the farmers market.

Who would play you in the movie of your life? George Takei, I love that guy.

As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?A farmer, just like my grandma. It’s been my life.

Is there a movie or a TV show you would recommend? “Legend of the Seeker.” It’s a TV series.

What do you specialize in? Mostly, it’s the eggs. That’s how we got started. My grandmother had a half-dozen chickens. That’s what people know us as. I’m the egg girl at most of the farmers markets.

I would imagine you have more than a half-dozen? We have around 200.

Is there a local restaurant you would recommend? When people come to town, I recommend Calamity Jane’s.
